Pharmacy - ePrescribe

Aetna is committed to promoting patient safety and reducing medication errors. We encourage participating providers to use electronic prescribing (ePrescribing), which can result in more accurate prescriptions.

ePrescribing organizations, such as Zix or NEPSI (National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative via Allscripts Healthcare Solutions), supply ePrescribing software. If you are a physician who wants to sign up for the software and ePrescribing service, visit the NEPSI website at www.nationaleRx.com. Or, visit the Zix website at www.zixcorp.com.

Benefits of ePrescribing
Here's how ePrescribing benefits you and your patients:

• Causes less confusion over handwritten prescriptions or unclear phone calls.


• Reduces the possibility of medical errors, as the software may show important information like drug interactions and prescription history.


• Offers a safer, faster, more convenient way to write prescriptions.


• Gives you real-time access to our formulary (preferred drug list).


• Allows you to send prescriptions electronically to most pharmacies in the United States and prescribe from anywhere at anytime.

By sponsoring NEPSI and regional pilot programs with Zix, we expand our commitment to patient safety and the use of technology in health care. As part of this commitment, we recognize providers who prescribe electronically. We list participating ePrescribing physicians with an "eRx" logo in DocFind^®, our online provider directory.
